202868 - Make Firebird build with MingW GCC on win32

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox Build System :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Jonathan Wilson]

Now that Mozilla is building on Win32 with MingW GCC (see bug 134113) and given
that mozilla is planning to move to Firebird and Thunderbird post 1.4, it would
make sense to start porting those applications (and in particular the new XPFE
replacement toolkit) to compile with MingW GCC also. That way, when the new
Firebird/Thunderbird based milestone shows up, the work to make it build on
Win32 with MingW GCC has already been completed

Changing to build-config as that is aparently the place for bugs like this
